ahahahah how ridiculous is this idea. Just want to see author having off buttons on all their remotes: TV, AC, ect. Enjoy manually turning them off and having redundant button=)


Many "classic" remotes are actually designed with the keypad itself being the power switch, they don't consume any power while not being used.

"Smart" remotes are a different picture. audibly sighs and walks off the stage


The remote to my gas fireplace runs dead every few weeks. The remote uses radio, so I assume it is constantly communicating with the fireplace. I don't use it everyday, so I keep the back off to dislodge the battery when not in use, and reconnect the battery to turn the thing on. I would love a simple on/off switch.
